Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP)/Section 106 Review
www.achp.gov/
The ACHP is an independent Federal agency that provides a forum for influencing
Federal activities, programs, and policies as they affect historic resources. The goal of
the National Historic Preservation Act, which established the ACHP in 1966, is to have
Federal agencies act as responsible stewards of our Nation's resources when their
actions affect historic properties. The ACHP is the only entity with the legal
responsibility to balance historic preservation concerns with Federal project
requirements. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires
Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic
properties and afford the ACHP a reasonable opportunity to comment. The historic
preservation review process mandated by Section 106 is outlined in regulations issued
by the ACHP. This site has news important to the ACHP and its constituents,
information on the Section 106 process, training and education sources, a listing of
publications, including Section 106 case law, and a listing of federal, state, and tribal
program contacts.
